Accessing resources in an android test project

Question

I have setup an android test project that runs junit tests. It\'s using two eclipse projects \"Application\" and \"ApplicationTest\" where my tests are in the \"ApplicationT

Answer 1

I would suggest extending ActivityTestCase instead of AndroidTestCase. You can than access test project resources via

getInstrumentation().getContext().getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.your_res).

Dummy test case example:

public class Test extends ActivityTestCase {

   public void testFoo() {  

      // .. test project environment
      Context testContext = getInstrumentation().getContext();
      Resources testRes = testContext.getResources();
      InputStream ts = testRes.openRawResource(R.raw.your_res);

      assertNotNull(testRes);
   }    
}

And then in test methods use getInstrumentation().getTargetContext() wherever you used getContext() in your AndroidTestCase extension.
